Blackout Theatre proudly presents the premiere of our newest original full-length play. Driftwood is a tale from the distant past. Continuing in our exploration of the Forrester Family tree, we delve into the lives of two sisters, Esme and Astrid, on a journey to find out about their mother and the homeland they knew only as children. Their mother is dying, and they must journey back to be with her in her final hours. The journey will be treacherous. Few make it alive. It will change them forever.

Driftwood opens on Friday, March 17th at the brand new Q-Staff Theatre at 400 Broadway SE.
